US Immigration from Philippines

I have been planning our travel to MNL for SLEC medical and also plan the interview as well but we have limited time since my daughter and I will need to go back to HKG for work and school. Is below plan doable?

1. Can SLEC expedite to release result if we plan USEM interview within the same week?

2. What is the turn around time to receive/deliver the passport from the time of interview (assume no issue on interview and visa has been approve)?

3. In case there is additional requirement for submission which increase the wait time, would it be possible to request to pull out my daughters passport? How will we handle onwards?

Hearing news that waiting time for passport can take 2 weeks or more, would like to check our options. Should be no issue for me, but need to find alternatives for my daughter.

Thanks in advance for response.

We got married Online in December, consummated marriage in March, filed paperwork in April, which date would be used for determining if we receive a 2-year or 10-year Green Card. We're really wanting to avoid going through another step further down the road if possible. Do they count from interview date or date of entry into the US? If we need to delay a month or two at NVC stage is that pretty easy?

Another question we have is, Wife used her previous name at time of marriage, we submitted our petition using that name, now she has changed her name on her Passport to my last name. We should be to NVC stage in a couple of months, should we upload the new Passport in our list name at this time? Also, should we start listing everything with the new last name, even though we went through the USCIS stage with prior name?

Do we need to do a Ds-260 for her 13-14 year old son separately as well?

Thanks for the help!

Hi all, I need some advice I am in the process of k1 finance Visa and got my Interview last March 2, 2023. My situation is I'm previously an OFW and I have obtain divorce from Singapore last 2 years ago. Both parties are filipino and I'm not annulled in Philippines. Now after my Interview the console give me 221G stating my lacking Marriage documentation: Certificate of NO Marriage on Record and Advisory on Marriage. My interview was being conducted in embassy manila. Question is I cannot get Cenomar as I'm still married, can I just get CEMAR instead and attached my divorce in SG? It will show from the record that I'm married but the divorce degree will support it.

My Fianc e finished her K-1 interview last week and everything went smoothly with them taking her passport and the consular giving her a verbal confirmation. We are still waiting for our status to be updated and the visa to be actually issued. It is taking a while now and feels kind of frustrating because we know others in her same interview date batch have already been issued. For certain reasons, we are on a tight timeline, so I was wondering if it's possible to take the CFO (online or offline) interview soon and then get her CFO stamp issued once she gets her passport back with the K-1 visa? My Fianc e says it might be possible and already has a CFO interview scheduled. It says on the CFO interview confirmation that a visa may not be necessary as one of the requirements to bring. Any thoughts or experiences?

Hello,

I m here seeking for advice. I can t complete my I-864 as I am still searching for answers and hoping that others have the same experience and wanting to know what has been the result.

Anyway, our household income is insufficient to cover the poverty guideline. We have a savings account that could cover the difference (x5). I wanted to know if anyone else used their savings for the I-864 and what were your experiences. Did it caused RFEs, delays? Anything else?

I m just worried that assets may not have enough bearing compared to income. But wanted to use it anyway before using another sponsor.

Please throw any advise.

Beneficiary is in the Philippines (if that helps).

Thank you.
